Eight Belles

On February 23, 2005, a bay filly was born at Three Chimneys Farm in Midway, Kentucky. Who would have guessed, as this filly stood for the first time on long, wobbly legs, that she would become the first filly since 1906 to finish second in the Kentucky Derby ... Eight Belles, Triumph Beyond the Wire is the biography of a sweet, special filly who, through her amazing life and heart-breaking passing, touched and won thousands of hearts, and made a large impact on her sport, the sport of kings, and on individuals all across the country, and across the world.
